“More than a shirt, feeding a passion for life”

Friday, 15 June 2012

Stegota FC from Kampala are definitely the most enterprising bunch of guys KitAid has ever worked with!

You may remember the story where we sent them a batch of XXL Stoke City shirts with the shirt sponsor of "Britannia" printed on the front. The guys tracked down a company in Kampala called Britania (note different spelling) and they persuaded them to support the club as they were promoting their company name! As a result they received a very large donation of biscuits to sell at their games.The relationship between Stegota FC and Britania has now moved on and they have become the new shirt sponsor, which is fantastic news. Last week, Thomas Enright, KitAid Trustee, was visiting projects in Uganda and he met up with the Stegota team who presented KitAid with a special shirt. If you want to follow their progress in the Kampala First Division visit their website at http://www.stegotafc.com/

Well done Stegota, we admire your enterprise and we hope the new kit brings you good luck.

Registered charity no. 1113968

This little boy in a tattered Liverpool shirt was the catalyst to KitAid in 1998. Following a trip to Tanzania with WaterAid by Derrick Williams, KitAid was formed and the charity has grown steadily over the years from sending one box to the tiny village in Tanzania to this year donating 100,000 football kits to children and adults in some of the poorest countries in the World.

Many of these kits have been loved by children and adults in the UK and are now being loved again by people, thousands of miles away. Bringing us together is the passion for football and big smiles on our faces.
